I can hear planes flying over my head.
Just hours before you occupy my bed.
In our darkness we conjoured up sunlight.
In our haste, our need, our thirst, we lost our sight.
But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face.
To the poetry the first time I heard your name.
When I drip from your lips my heart was like a kick drum,
And it silenced the guilt I wasn't raised to hurt anyone.
Uh-oh, does he know, lying in the afterglow,
That I'm lying but I can't go? Can't say no.
Make him think he's crazy while his paranoia grows.
But what he should be asking, is "where did our love go?"
Then I wouldn't be baskin', in another man's afterglow.
(Oh no), where did the beat go? Where did the beat go?
(Oh no, another man's after glow).
Where did the beat go? (Oh no), where did the beat go?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh),(Oh-oh, oh-oh).
So, how do I justify to the judge and the jury,
The voices in my head? Because there's fury.
Never had to play with matches to start a fire,
But it got so cold that I thought I'd forgotten desire.
I was your concubine and then your madonna.
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's momma.
How long is lonely supposed to last?
I was naked and waiting for you to come back, mm.
Uh-oh, does he know lying in the afterglow,
That I'm lying but I can't go? Can't say no.
Make him think he's crazy, (Oh), while his paranoia grows.
But what he should be asking, Is "where did our love go?"
Then I wouldn't be baskin', In another man's afterglow.
(Oh no), where did the beat go? Where did the beat go?
(In another man's after glow).
Where did the beat go? Where did the beat go?
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh), (Oh-oh, oh-oh).
In another man's after glow.
There's a cause and effect although I took the steps.
I dove off the bridge 'cause I had nothing left.
All I ever wanted was you and in the accents of you,
I fell through.
Uh-oh, does he know lying in the afterglow,
That I'm lying but I can't go? Can't say no.
Make him think he's crazy while his paranoia grows.
But what he should be asking, is "where did our love go?"
Then I wouldn't be baskin', in another man's afterglow.
(Oh no), where did the beat go? Where did the beat go?
(In another man's after glow).
Where did the beat go? Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
Where did the beat go?
Where did the love go?
